20110041141 | Virtual Object Indirection in a Hosted Computer Environment - A computer-implemented method of managing computer macros is discussed. This method includes identifying a macro stored at a hosted computer system, executing the macro by traversing lines of commands in the macro, and identifying one of a plurality of different services that are responsive to macros. The method also includes converting a command in the macro from a format associated with a macro language in which the macro is authored, to a command format associated with the identified one of the plurality of different services and providing information received from the one of a plurality of different services to the macro or an application corresponding to the macro, after converting the information into a format usable by the macro or the application corresponding to the macro. | 02-17-2011 |
20110296507 | Providing an Electronic Document Collection - In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to access an electronic document collection that integrates a plurality of electronic sub-documents that are each of one of a plurality of defined document types. The method also includes retrieving information that is associated with the document collection, wherein the retrieved information identifies a first sub-document of the plurality of sub-documents using a first non-address identifier, and identifying a first software application that is configured to provide access to the first sub-document. The method additionally includes initiating a first connection with a first server that causes execution of the identified first software application and that, using the first non-address identifier, provides access to the first sub-document. The method further includes integrating access to the first sub-document into the document collection through the initiated first connection with the first server that causes execution of the first software application. | 12-01-2011 |
20130007118 | COLLABORATIVE ONLINE SPREADSHEET APPLICATION - A distributed spreadsheet application executes at a server and a client in a network. The networked spreadsheet application can generally be used without requiring a user to install any specific spreadsheet software prior to using the application. In one implementation, the spreadsheet application may include a client engine that executes within browser programs of a plurality of client computing devices and server logic. The server logic may be configured to distribute the client engines to the plurality of client computing devices of the spreadsheet application when requested through the browser programs of each of the plurality of client computing devices. The server logic synchronizes a single spreadsheet document that is simultaneously open at the plurality of client computing devices. | 01-03-2013 |
20130246346 | PROVIDING AN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT COLLECTION - In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to access an electronic document collection that integrates a plurality of electronic sub-documents that are each of one of a plurality of defined document types. The method also includes retrieving information that is associated with the document collection, wherein the retrieved information identifies a first sub-document of the plurality of sub-documents using a first non-address identifier, and identifying a first software application that is configured to provide access to the first sub-document. The method additionally includes initiating a first connection with a first server that causes execution of the identified first software application and that, using the first non-address identifier, provides access to the first sub-document. The method further includes integrating access to the first sub-document into the document collection through the initiated first connection with the first server that causes execution of the first software application. | 09-19-2013 |
